pound per square inch to kilopascal Conversion Formula

To convert from pound per square inch (psi) to kilopascal (kPa), use the following formula:

$\textbf{ kilopascal} \text{ (kPa)}$

$= \frac{1}{1000} \times \frac{1}{0.00014503768078}\times \textbf{ pound per square inch} \text{ (psi)}$

$= 6.8947600004501395751\times \textbf{ pound per square inch} \text{ (psi)}$

With $\frac{1}{0.00014503768078}$ is the ratio between the base units kilopascal (kPa) and kilopound per square inch (ksi).

Example

Let's convert 5 pound per square inch (psi) to kilopascal (kPa).

Using the formula:

$5 \times 6.8947600004501395751 = 34.473800002250697876$

Therefore, 5 pound per square inch (psi) is equal to $34.473800002250697876$ kilopascal (kPa).
